This is my moment to ensure Laura gets what she deserves. The anticipation has been building for so long, and now that it’s here, I’m ready to seize the opportunity.

As I arrive at the towering office building, the sleek glass facade reflects the bustling city around me. I step out of the car, taking a moment to gather my thoughts before entering. As I walk through the door, I notice my employees standing up to greet me, their faces a mix of respect and curiosity. But today, I’m not in the mood for pleasantries; I brush past them, focused solely on my motive.

    ~ LAURA’S POVFirst day of work and I’m feeling pretty prepared, even though I’m a bit unsure about it all. There’s this little part of me that thinks it might be great especially since my boss is Theo and not some random dude. I know that Theo and I are not really in good times and we had a rough ending, but I really don’t think that will impact what’s going on now considering it’s his idea to hire me.Honestly, now that I’m thinking about it, I have no idea what to expect from this new job, but I’m really hoping it turns out to be a great experience.

He reassured me that he would make sure I was doing everything right to avoid getting fired or facing any penalties.

    After I wrapped up the task Jamil assigned to me, he asked me to create a report summarizing the data findings. Even though I was starting to feel a bit tired, I pushed through and found it much easier than the first task I was given. Writing comes naturally to me, so putting together the report wasn’t too challenging. I was able to organize my thoughts quickly and lay out the information clearly especially since I am very much experienced with it. In less than an hour, I had the report completed and polished, ready for submission. Jamil mentioned that I needed to send it to Theo, so I took the time to double-check everything, making sure all the details were accurate and intact. I really want to avoid any mistakes, especially since Theo doesn’t seem to be in the best mood today; I don’t want to add to his stress.As I was arranging the report, I remembered the homemade cookie I baked for him. I had intended to give it to him earlier, but my busy day had gotten in the way. Now that I

The anger in me was too strong that I didn’t even have time to think, my heart was racing faster than my legs could ever walk, I didn’t care that he was busy; all I wanted was to be heard and to understand why he would do something so hurtful to me and why he had suddenly turned so cruel. It was completely out of character for Theo to waste food, especially something he cherished so much. I could never wrap my head around why he would just toss away the cookies, his all-time favorite treat that he always savored.As I burst into the boardroom, the room fell silent, all eyes darting toward me in shock. I felt the weight of their stares, but I brushed it off, my focus locked on Theo, who looked taken aback by my sudden entrance. "Why?" I demanded, my voice steady but laced with emotion as I walked over to him. With a look of conf

    "It’s a termination letter," he replied coldly. "I had this printed out immediately after I gave you the job. I knew you would pull a stupid stunt like this, so you should take it, sign it, and leave. I’m done." His words felt like a punch to the gut, and I stood there, stunned, grappling with the reality of what he was saying.His words crashed into my mind like a tidal wave, swirling with confusion and disbelief. I couldn't wrap my head around whether he was joking or being serious. "What!" I exclaimed, my voice tinged with shock and urgency.He coolly handed me a pen, his expression unreadable, and said, "Sign it and leave."I hesitated, refusing to take the pen from him. "I’m not signing anything," I declared, my heart racing as I stood my ground."Okay, then I guess our work here is done. You can leave now; please close the door behind you while you are leaving," he replied, leaning back in his chair as if the conversation was already over."Wait, are you serious?" I asked, my vo

    "Learn what?" I asked, feeling a mix of anxiety and curiosity. He simply smirked, a glint in his eyes as if he was plotting something bad for me, leaving me on edge and unsure of what was to come.Theo took a step closer, the distance between us shrinking to mere inches. His smirk was infuriating as he let his gaze linger on my lips before shifting to my eyes. "Every wrongdoing in my company comes with a consequence. Are you willing to pay the consequences?" he asked"As long as it gets me my job back, I will," I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt."Lovely," he responded, his eyes moving from my face to my neck in a way that made me feel exposed and uneasy. He leaned in, and for a moment, it felt like he was about to kiss me. Normally, I would have recoiled, but I found myself frozen in place. I had faith in Theo; I believed he wouldn’t cross that line.

He pulled me closer, his hands shifting to clasp my waist, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. "You said anything, right?" he asked, his voice low and charged."I didn’t mean this," I shot back, my voice trembling slightly."What?" he questioned, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes."This—what you’re trying to do
